“I remembered the moment I read a novel for the first time.
The texture of the soft paper touching my fingertips. The black letters blooming on a white field. The texture of the page I folded with my hands.
「 It isn’t important to read the letters. The important thing is where the letters lead you. 」
My mother, who loved books, used to say this. At least for me, it wasn’t just a saying.
The gaps in the black print. My own little snow garden lay in between the letters. This space, which was too small for someone to go into, was a perfect place for a child who liked to hide. Every time a pleasant sound was heard, the letters stacked up like snow.
In it, I became a hero. I had adventures, loved and dreamt. Thus, I read, read and read again.
I remembered the first time I was about to finish a book. It was like being deprived of the world.
The protagonist and supporting characters walked off with the sentence ‘They lived happily ever after’ and I was left alone at the end of the story. In my vanity and sense of betrayal, my young self struggled because I couldn’t stand the loneliness.
「This… is the end? 」
Perhaps it was similar to learning about death. For the first time, I realized that something was finite.”

“Jung Heewon unsheathed her sword and spoke. “I don’t know anything about the future. However, I do know this. You said that you want to save this world? It’s the same for me, too.”
Her determination manifested in the whitish flames billowing on the [Sword of Judgement].
"That man is the world I wish to save.”

“Unfortunately, I couldn't reply. Because, if I do, then...
...Then you would end up becoming a mere character of the story.
Because you definitely couldn't become a mere character
[Kim Dokja had learned how to live from this man.]
This man was my father, my older brother and my oldest friend
I couldn't kill this guy. Nor could I beg for his forgiveness either

“Strangely, I’ve been craving something sweet lately. Do you want to eat?”
Han Sooyoung didn't wait for my answer and shoved the candy she was holding into my mouth. It had a lemon flavour. I ate the candy and Han Sooyoung looked at me quietly.
“By the way, that’s what i was eating.”
”So?”
“...You are really no fun.”
